Right…. Big day today.
My Solo Performance; #Catharsis is on tonight (16/5/12) in the University of Lincoln’s LPAC studio 3 from 5.30 until 6.30 (GMT) and I have a request to make of all my lovely followers…
Catharsis is the inside of my head as I address issues and events from my life that have led to my depression. This show will help me in beating my demons.
If you can’t be there, but have ever known or loved me, or even shown the slightest interest in my well being, it is of VITAL importance to me as a fellow human being, to my show, and to my overall grade that you tweet at me (@mhornerglister) using the hashtag #Catharsis between 5.30 and 6.30 tonight. I shall be tweeting to let you know what I’m talking about as the show progresses. You can ask me anything, tell me your opinion of me, offer love and support, or just say what’s on your mind, and it will be a part of the show. This way even if you can’t get to see the show you can still be a part of it, help me get a good grade, I’ll be you BFF (or whatever young people say these days) and most importantly, you’ll be a big part in helping me overcome my depression.
I don’t ask anything of my followers. But today I do. It’s only one hour of your entire life to help change the course of mine for the better. Please be a part of this unique show.
Thank you.
Much love,
Martyn
PS. Please reblog and retweet this post for me today. Thank you!
Thank you, Hannah!
The idea of throwing things away was kind of where the name ‘Catharsis’ came from. The idea was also that the performance space was the inside of my head, so therefore, I was alone in there to deal with my own issues. Putting things in the bin was my way of letting things go. Obviously, as we went along there were some things that never got thrown away. And that’s ok, because who really wants to get rid of everything in their head that makes them who they are? Not everything was bad. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your support. x
I really enjoyed your piece, if enjoyed is indeed the right word. I thought you were very brave to tell your audience the things that you did. And to watch you throw away things after you spoke about them was a lovely idea and I hope that it helped you to over come certain aspects that may have made you unhappy. Your use of stage was great and made for great viewing from the window. The way you had your audience was a great idea and helped us all to see things from your point of view and watch the thoughts you had be voiced. Very well done. Hannah x
